Digital Health Projects
MCD Global Health (MCD) was selected as a subawardee to support the implementation of Maine’s technology and innovation initiatives in close collaboration with Maine DHHS and statewide partners. This includes supporting the implementation of a variety of digital health solutions and modalities, including telehealth, remote-patient monitoring, provider-to-provider consultations, and digital therapeutics deployed across partner sites, with a focus on reducing distance as a barrier to specialty care, behavioral health, and chronic disease management.
Digital Health Projects: Adult Remote Patient Monitoring Program - RPM Provider
Telehealth Expansion: Bringing Care Directly to Patients
Project Details
The Maine Rural Health Transformation Program (RHTP) expands access to chronic disease management through an Adult Remote Patient Monitoring (RPM) initiative serving individuals with conditions such as hypertension and heart failure. This telehealth model uses connected monitoring devices, remote clinical oversight, and care coordination to support earlier intervention and improve health outcomes for rural patients who may face barriers to ongoing care and monitoring.
Who We're Serving
This project is intended to support:
The project ultimately benefits adults with hypertension, heart failure, and other chronic health conditions who may face challenges of accessing ongoing monitoring and support. Emphasis is placed on individuals at increased risk for avoidable emergency department visits, hospitalizations, and complications related to chronic disease.
Objective
Provide a scalable statewide Remote Patient Monitoring service that supports adults with hypertension, heart failure, and other high-risk chronic conditions, as well as pregnant and postpartum individuals requiring maternal health monitoring. Services will improve chronic disease management and maternal health outcomes through ongoing monitoring, patient engagement, self-management support, timely intervention, care coordination, expanded access to home-based monitoring services, and delivery of a standardized statewide RPM model.

Digital Health Projects: Perinatal Specialty Telehealth
Telehealth Expansion: Provider-to-Provider
Project Details
Healthcare access to perinatal and maternal care is a challenge for many rural Mainers due to distance and facility closures. The Perinatal Specialty Consults program will connect rural providers with perinatal experts to improve maternal-fetal outcomes, improve accessibility to specialty services, and reduce the need for patient travel.
Who We're Serving
This project supports Maine-based:
The project benefits rural obstetric providers by connecting them to timely perinatal specialty consults, which ultimately benefits pregnant and postpartum individuals who may experience barriers to specialty care due to distance, transportation challenges, or limited access to specialty maternal health services.
Objective
Enable rural providers with perinatal patients to access real-time and pre-scheduled provider-to-provider perinatal specialty (MFM and/or obstetrics specialist) consultations. Fully integrate specialty consults into existing clinical workflows, thereby strengthening local provider response to acute and/or high-risk obstetrical cases, improving timely access to specialists, and reducing unnecessary referrals and patient travel.
Emergency Shelter Upgrade Assistance Grant Fund
The Virginia Emergency Shelter Upgrade Assistance Fund, was a result of Senate Bill 350, introduced by Senator Lucas, and went into effect on July 1, 2020.
Funding Intent
Moneys in the fund shall be used solely for the purposes of providing matching funds to localities to install, maintain, or repair permanent infrastructure related to standby backup energy generation for emergency shelters, including solar energy generators, and to improve the hazard-specific structural integrity (wind retrofit) of shelter facilities owned by the locality.
Funding Priorities
Funding Limits
For FY27, there is $2,500,000 appropriated by the General Assembly to this fund.
Local governments are limited to one shelter upgrade application per year. However, the one application may include more than one site.
Limit of $450,000 (state share) for any single grant award.
Shelter Upgrade Fund may match any existing FEMA Hazard Mitigation Assistance grants to upgrade shelters.
Local governments can only receive and implement one shelter upgrade grant at a time. Construction on any previous awards must be complete at the time of application. If a current Shelter Upgrade Grant project is in progress, the local government may still apply and receive the award after the conclusion of the current project.
Emergency and Trauma Care Education Partnership Program (ETEP) : ETEP – Graduate Medication Education (GME) Program
The Emergency and Trauma Care Education Partnership Program (ETEP), established in 2011 by the 82nd Texas Legislature, provides funding to support partnerships between hospitals and graduate medical education (GME) programs that increase the number of emergency medicine and trauma care physician residents and fellows (GME grants).
Contingent on the number of qualified residencies filled during the Grant Period and the amount of appropriation available, THECB expects to award approximately $4,984,406 for the ETEP GME. THECB anticipates an approximate award of at least $24,500 per year for each residency position awarded and filled during the Grant Period, not to exceed $50,000 per year per residency position per awarded Eligible Applicant. The THECB retains sole discretion to determine the final award amounts, which may vary based on the availability of funds and the number of eligible residency positions.

Digital Health Projects: Automated Text Messaging - Chronic Conditions
Patient-facing Digital Health Tool
Project Details
Chronic diseases and conditions are the leading cause of illness and death in Maine and are a key driver of rising healthcare costs. Adults with chronic conditions need consistent medical care and support to avoid complications and make healthy choices. In rural areas, access to ongoing medical care and lifestyle support may be limited due to multiple barriers to care. The Maine Rural Health Transformation Program (RHTP) is implementing an Automated Text Messaging (ATM) system for adults with chronic health conditions in rural Maine. The service is intended to deliver scalable, low-barrier support services, such as reminders, education, nudges, and follow-up prompts to patients, complementing—not replacing—clinical care, MaineCare-covered services, or emergency care. In providing chronic disease management support direct to patients, the program aims to improve patient adherence to treatment plans, thereby improving health outcomes for patients with chronic conditions.
Who We're Serving
This program is intended to support:
Expected impact: Expand access to same-day acute care; increase availability of after-hours and weekend care; and reduce geographic and provider-access barriers for rural residents.

The Maine Department of Education, in conjunction with the Maine Department of Health and Human Services, has issued a Request for Applications (RFA) from eligible organizations for the Maine Healthcare Careers Exploration Program. The program seeks to build sustainable career pipeline programming to support Maine youth in grades 9-12 in exploring healthcare occupation opportunities, acquiring foundational skills, and creating meaningful connections to healthcare professionals and employers, and to provide relevant high school instruction, postsecondary enrollment, and workforce development opportunities in Maine.
Funding for this opportunity is made available through Maine’s federal Rural Health Transformation Program award, administered by the Maine Department of Health and Human Services. Consistent with federal RHTP funding requirements, eligibility for this opportunity is focused on rural schools and students, as defined under the program.
